Mrs Isabelle Alldis - Director of The Thornwood Farming and Storage Company wrote to us on the 7th March 2005 saying:-

"The Pryor team did an excellent job for us. I felt this project was a lot smaller than they usually do but they were very aware of the tight site constraints they had to work in and showed consideration to all users of the estate.

I found watching the dexterity of the excavator operator was amazing, and the large ADT operator did his very best with our old roads and members of the public visiting the estate.

Altogether a very satisfactory job - thank you."

Darren Fazackerley, Landscape Officer with Harlow Council wrote to us on 23 February 2005 saying:-

"Thank you for the excellent work undertaken to clear the pond at Parndon Wood SSSI of reedmace and the lower pool. I am very pleased with the work undertaken particularly in an environmentally sensitive location and it is good to see the pond life recovering already.

Many thanks again."

Willow Tree Farm Reservoir- Ten Mile Bank 

John Kisby of E W Kisby & Son Ltd. wrote to us in November saying:-

"We employed C J Pryor (Contracts) Ltd. in 2003 to build a reservoir at Willow Tree Farm, Station Road, Ten Mile Bank, Norfolk. From start to finish we found them to be a very professional , well orgainised company to deal with.

Although working close to our own main yard at a time when the farm was at its very busiest, they carried out their work with a minimum of inconvenience to ourselves. However, when necessary they did consult with us, especially in regard to health and safety, and access. These matters were dealt with quickly before any problems arose.

Our lasting impression was a well run, efficient , friendly group of people to deal with, machine operators and managers included. "

Maymeads Marsh - Harlow, Essex

Nature Reserve Warden Mr Colin Lincoln, of Parndon Wood Nature Reserve, Harlow wrote to us in October saying:-

"Just a few lines to say thank you for the excellent work carried out on our Maymeads Marsh Nature Reserve, the fast and efficient clearance of the sedge and rushes from the main body of water has kept the disturbance and stress to the resident wildlife down to a minimum.

The work has now given the public unobstructed views across the water, and the  removal of debris and silt from the inlet stream will help keep the Reserve water levels to their optimum height, the surrounding area where the spoil has been spread will soon recover to give the inhabitants of the marsh back a first class environment in which to live.

Thanks again for all your help in this project."

On 16th March 2004 Nick Kalnakov of the London Borough of Ealing wrote to us stating -

"This is to confirm that we have used CJ Pryor in relation to ground works and site clearance for the extension of Greenford Cemetery, Ealing. The works took place at the end of 2003 - beginning of 2004.

The works required: ground excavation, removing chemically and mechanically contaminated material off site to licensed tips, organising a drainage construction to comply with specification and levelling the site. During the work process effective relationship was established and the works proceeded smoothly with any problems being solved quickly and efficiently.

In our work with CJ Pryor the main benefiting points were:-

• Well organised works site and program of work flexible enough to respond to any necessary changes.
• Good H & S procedures and enforcement.
• Good record keeping and financial management.
• Total transparency and accountability all through the project.
• Willingness to help with advice and appropriate proposals for the best way to overcome any site issues.
• Easy communication and responsiveness.
• Completing the works as required and well within budget.

Based on the project we have completed with CJ PRYOR [we] would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"We would take this opportunity to thank you for your works on the above contract.

The works were carried out to a high standard by a professional and cooperative management team.

We look forward to working with you on future projects and wish you success in the future."
